    This beginner sewing workshop was great. I've learned quite a few things that I did not know before. Daniel is a great teacher. I got a few yellings from him but all for good reasons (you are supposed to lower the machine foot gently!). We all finished our zippered bags by the end of class. This is a great sewing class for beginners. I definitely recommend it.

    The class itself was pretty simple but it was also overbooked. I don't feel like it's worth the money if the class is overbooked.
